TAFT RENEWS HI PLEA FOR BIGGER ARMY Declares We Must Raise Five Million Men to Lick the Hun Properly THE WAR COMES FIRS? Winning Great Struggle Must Take Precedence Over All Other Ideas Y,, July 19,—A call by Saratoga, William Howard Taft to the country to elect iis fall a republican con- gress, which he declared would stim- ulate the democratic president by ot- fering constructive criticism of the administration’s action and inaction, and, by tegislation, enlarge the na- tion’s military preparations, was is- sued by the former president, address- ing the unofficial republican state convention here today. Again Advocates Big Army. Reiterating his advocacy of an army of 5,000,000 men, Mr. Taft told the delegates that now is the time to raise the great forces needed to win the war. With a democratic qongress, waiting the president’s lesd rather than co-ordinating with the executive, he said, this will not be accomplished iwt hthe promptness which is impera tive. While conceding the masterful abii- ity of the president in stating the country’s needs in the war, Mr. Taft asserted that the administration has not had the same success in forming practical war policies. He criticised also the tendency of the ai ministra- “to allow party considerations too much sway in its appointments to importani tasks,” and declared that “politics kas not been adjourned” as indicated by what he termed presi- dential interference in the party af- fairs of Wisconsin and Michigan. We Must Place War First. The former president said, in part: “Everything -we do not and every- thing we say must help win the war. The president has said ‘politics is ad- journed.’. He is certainly right, in so far as politics is to be used for per- shonal ends or party triumph. But popular government even in war, must be carried on by parties. Party spir- it must of course be suppressed where it hampers or embarrasses. On the other hand, party organization of pub- lic opinion may be the besi way to se- cure needed. governmeti jon, That. is the present case. The eds: the republican party to st n expression to an aff sive war policy. [t+ steve polis in November wi!i spur the ad- ministration to adopi cue. A repub- lican congress will euact legislation to initiate and carry it on. +The present administration is to remain in power two years and a half. By that time,, even though the war continues, our:then military strength must leave no. doubt of the result. We @re now not concerned with the na tional election of 1920. ‘That may. take care of itself. Its outcome will de- pend upon circumstances which’ one can not.now foresee. Our present taskk, as patriots and Republicans, 1s to help the present administration or- ganize the potential force-f this coun- try into a knockout blow to Wiiliam 6f Hohenzollern and his compliant German people. ‘ * The Administration. “What can we fairly say of the pre- parations for the war. by the adminis- trations We must admit that to change a peace-loving democracy like Ours into a nation which shall make an effective modern war on a hue scale‘ is no easy task. There must be waste of money, effort and time in such a. transition. Much has been done by the administration amd well done. We should not\minimize in any degree the credit due to it for our conscription law. It was. indispens- able to carrying on this war. It was democratic in its principle and effec- tive in its operation. It could not have passed but for the efforts of the pres- ident and the republican minority. Its execution, under the able, directing hand of the judge advocate and pro- vost marshal general, has been.admir- able. / “Other. achtevements in war prepar- ation may properly be claimed for the credit of the Administration, whose, patriotism and earnest devotion to its great moral war aims no one can ques- tion, Weneed not dwell upon the un- fortunate delays. The Secretary of War. “The army appropriation bill of last winter was held up for more than two months; in order that the secretary of war might visit the war ronts and gain a clearer idea of the situation there and’ bring back a definite pol- icy.- When he returned, he appeared before the committee,of the house and senate and gave an account of his Important to All Women Readers of This Paper Thousands upon thousands of wom- ei have kiduey or bladder trouble and mever suspect it.

It presented, a snothing else could, the immediate danger of breaking through the allied line. The allies called upon the administration for aid and press- ed the necessary shipping upon us, We , Were pushed into action, and thus we have now Janded a million men in France.” The former president here describ- ed the defeat in congress, by the ad- ministration forces, of legislation to extend the draft age limits, which he declared would have provided prompt- ly and without hardship: upon depend- ent families, the army of “at least 5,000,000 men” urged by the minority leaders. He continued “What is needed then to help this administration most is a coordinate branch of the government with power. and responsibility in fighting this war, which will perform two functions. The first is that of constructive criticism of administrative action or inaction. -A criticism is constructive which wilt point out a defect for the purpose oF having it remedied, which will em- phasize a need for the purpose: of having it supplied. It is a criticism ‘trom a source of independent power which will minimize the numbing se- curity of official: reserve and conceal: ment.and stimulate executive senci tiveness’ to the duty of quick decision and action in. time of war; The sec- ond function is by law to enlarge our military preparations at, once so that they shall clearly be adequate to cur declared national purpose. “Will a» Democratic congress fur- nish this constructive criticism and needed legislation? Clearly not. There’ have been a few democrats in con- gress, especially in the senate, whose intense interest in the effective con- duct of the war has been manifest and who have shown independence. But in. the case of the majority of the democrats. this has not been true. We may, therefore, infer that.a new dem: ocratio congress. would wait upon the president, would hesitate, with him, and would furnish hint no independent ‘aggressive impulse in his. great task. The New Election. ‘ “Now. what of the next election? The administration has sought to. se- cure what is called a non-partisan re- turn of loyal members of congress. ‘That non-partisanship seems to apply only in states where the republican majorities. would be overwhelming, and where the dithdrawwal of demo cratic oppédition is a concession. of no substancé: It does not work where ‘there-is a chance for a democratic candidate in either the senate or the house. In wisconsin, in which the re- publican candidate for senate was’ en- gaged in a life and death struggle with pro-German opposition, the pres- ident wrote a letter attacking him and seeking the election of warm per: sonal supporter’ and democrat, whom he had urged to run. In Michigan, a republican state, where there is a di- vision between the republicans, the president has invited Mr, Ford, a former republican, who rarely voted, and an extreme pacifist before the war, to become the democratic candi date. with a view to securing another, thisk and thin supporter in the sen- ate. Politics was not adjourned in these acts.: Such a: policy of so-called non-partisanship, if carried to success, will result in. a Democratic congress completely subject to the discipline of the administration, furnishing no‘ stim: ulus to definite policy and no im] pulse to prompt action. “If, we had to have a. democratic congress in 1917, it was better for the country that the president should be a democrat. Otherwise the declara- tion of war, proper preparation for it, and the passage of the’ conscription act would have been very doubtful. But now the situation is different. Now we need a republican: congress to , call for and insist upon adequate pre- paration and to formulate legislation to this end. Such a congress’ will in every way back yp and: sustain the democratic: president in winning the’ war. Insiead of being obstructive, it will stimulate the administration to victory.

Uniformity is the outstanding quality. of Maxwell design and construction. ao Apropos that, we are frequently asked what par- ticular detail of the motor is responsible for the tremendous mileage per gallon of gasoline obtained by Maxwell. owners. If you ask an owner he will almost invariably give the carburetor most of the credit. Now, obviously the carburetor must be a good one. If it were not, it would prevent, even if it did. not accomplish the result. But a good carburetor does not make a good motor car—nor an efficient mixing valve alone an efficient motor. The factors that made that famous “Non-Stop” record possible, and the: test in which 3,000 owner- driven Maxwell Motor Cars averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline—were many. Every detail of ‘motor design had to be right— every. proportion just right in relation to: every other one. Piston displacement, valve dimensions and valve lift,, compression, balance—everything in precise Tatio and correct relation to every other detail. 'Twould require a volume to tell how Maxwell: engineers achieved' that splendid result, Just as it required long years of practical manufacturing experience to know how. Of course the carburetor helps—but equally so does the.electrical system: By the way, if this were the: kind: of: motor car in which any one feature stood out above others, we would emphasize that electrical system.
